Many people on the show are slowly dying due to the “prison” their bodies have become. It is extremely painful

Lots of nudity. Lisa Fleming speaks very frankly about sex in her episode, trading junk food for sexual favors

Along with footage of surgery, there’s plenty of graphic imagery of the patients’ obesity-related complications. One of the most infamous is the “barnacles,” the lumps formed on some patients’ legs after the fat cuts off their circulation
